For the longest time Ive been a mallet hater. I tried a few and never found any that I liked the feel off. Id read all the talk about how forgiving they are and all that but never found one I liked.
Well, recently I was at a local golf shop looking at putters and I came across a used Bettinardi A-02. I gave it a few putts on their indoor green and it worked pretty well. For whatever reason, I put it back on the shelf and didnt buy it.
Well, for the past 2 days I did a lot of reading about mallet putters. I read all about MOI, forgivness on offcenter hits and how mallets are better for SBST putting strokes and blah, blah, blah; so I decided to take a chance on the Bettinardi.
Thus far, Im loving it. I still hate the looks of a mallet but Im putting the ball truer and better than I ever have; which tells me that I need to get over the looks and forget about blade putters.
Not to mention its nice to have a Mizzy putter back in the bag and at $79 it was a good deal. I traded my Wilson Di7s and Cleveland Classic 1 in on it, which paid for the putter with $20 left over. No complaints there!
